Thursday. 1t was the case of An
derson Cox against Messrs. Boone
and Little, the plaintiff sueing them
individually for his salary as teach
err of the Caldwell school. The de-
Tense was that Mr.. Cox had no GER
tificate and hence his contract was
void and he could collect neither
from the district nor the trustees in
dividually. Lawyers Chas. Reed
and Jas. S. Negley, of Caldwell, APP
peared for the defendants, and d.
B. P. Pride for the plaintiff. Notice
of appeal was made.
-Rumors reach us of another
shooting scrape over ON Sucker
Creek. 1t seems Bill Hopkins and
Geo. Simpson had had some trouble
some time ago that was never sat
isfiactory settled. The other day
they met, both being horseback,
when without further ceremony
Hopkins pulled his revolver and
went to shooting The first ball
struck Simpsons horse, which i'm
mediately set to bucking and thus
to great extent, destroying Hop
kin's aim. Two more bullets were
put into the horse and one through
Simpsons left leg. By this time
Simpson either got his horse under
control or was thrown, but at any
rate he succeeded in drawing his
weapon and returned the fire.
At this Hopkins formed a hasty
conclusion that discretion was the
best part of valor, or just remem-
bered previous engagement that
demanded his prompt attention,
for he way he travelled out of that
neighborhood was something won
derful.
The Territorial papers have
been doing a great deal Of taking of
late in regard to forming a Press
Association. Shoshone Falls has
been suggested as the place of
meeting and the 10th day of Au-
gust the date, With the single ex,
ception of the Boise Statesman, so
far as we have observed, the papers
are all in favor of the proposed or
ganization, but no one seems to
want to take responsibility of max
ing tho call. THE TRIBUNE is COM
paratively a new conner, and were
it not for the improperly of the
thing, it would make the call in a
hurry. The organization is badly
needed, Notwithstanding the States
mans objections, which, we admit,
are we'll taken from its point of
view. But it seems to us that the
Statesman takes an erroneous view |
of the case and is also a little in
1t takes the stand that
the only object of the proposed or
ganization is to regulate foreign adj
vertising, and from that stand its
were good. But to our
mind foreign advertising has little
or nothing to do with it. 1t don't
amount to enough to notice it.
But in its very next issue after de-
the proposed organize
ton, the Statesman acknowledges
its vast Importance by a vigorous
kick against the sending of the new
code to Omaha to be printed, when
it could have been done as well at
home. That's what we want a press
association for, Mr.. Statesman. We
want to regulate the vast amount OF
territorial printing that is sent to
The Chicago rat shops, and not
few paltry patent medicine ads.
We want to bust up this thing of
private business men at Boise, who
ought to be minding their own bus
ness, sending territorial printing to
Chicago or Omaha, and if the press
mites and demands it's rights and
pushes them, irrespective of party,
, wonderful change will soon come
IRE the spirit of the dream. We
want the next legislature to fix
ate for legal advertising, and if
demanded by good press organi-
